Nikon Ambassadors are some of the most talented and influential visual artists working in the business today. From workshops to trade show platforms, online learning and social media; Nikon Ambassadors represent the most versatile and ambitious photographers today.

Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Looking for inspiration for your photography? Look no further than Learn & Explore, the area on the Nikonusa website that is packed full of educational articles, how-to tutorials and inspirational pieces on all sorts of photography topics.

Carry your camera manual, especially if your camera is new. When traveling you'll probably have a chance to try some new shots. It can also be the time you’re likely to forget the function of a particular button. Or you may just want to explore all the cool things today’s cameras offer.

Experiment with the white balance settings outside. White balance on your camera will alter the color temperature and appearance you get in your picture. For instance, a CLOUDY setting will give your pictures a warmer cast. The FLUORESCENT setting will make your photographs cooler, skewing to a purple cast.

When traveling abroad, check the power setting and type of plugs. Most modern chargers do both 110 volts (USA) and 220 volts (most of the rest of the world). Check yours, and then pick the right adapter for the plug. Be careful to not use a 110-volt power strip in higher-voltage countries.

Turn on the lights when shooting inside the house. Lamps and overhead lights will brighten any picture indoors. The light will add depth to the picture and often warm up the color. Most importantly, it will brighten up the background.

Be creative with your posing. Don't just line everybody up. Use the steps or the arm of a couch to experiment with some people standing and others sitting. Have kids sitting in laps or someone sitting on the floor or kneeling. Mix it up.

Get yourself in the picture. Nothing is worse than a vacation with no shots of the family photographer. Get in the picture by using a tripod (or a steady surface such as a wall or a car hood) and the camera’s self-timer to make sure you're included in the family memories.

Jump for fun. Have your kids line up for a picture. As the photographer, get low, and get ready to shoot. Have the kids all jump in the air at the same time. Capturing them mid jump can bring out their true personalities.

When photographing a lot of people at a party, use your camera’s Smart Portrait System to help you get better pictures. The blink mode lets you know if your subjects blinked, and the smile timer can snap the photo when the camera sees that your subjects are smiling.

Try turning off your flash at night to get what your eye really sees. If it's at all dark or dim, the camera will try to fire the flash. Find the flash off icon (usually a lightning bolt with a line through it) and select it. Make sure to hold steady, or use a tripod, because the shutter speed may be slow.

Use the pet scene mode when photographing cats and dogs. If your camera doesn’t have a pet mode, disable the audible beeps and focus assist lamps while photographing them so the lights and sounds aren’t a distraction.

Go shooting with a friend. Not only will you add another pair of eyes to find interesting subjects, but you’ll also feed off of each other’s ideas and energy. Try to organize regular shoots in the park. Share lenses or tips on making that unforgettable photo.

Use fill flash to add a little sparkle to your subject’s eyes when shooting portraits outdoors, during the day. Even in bright sunlight, fill flash can even out the lighting for a more pleasing photograph.

Compose photos using the “rule of thirds.” Think of the frame as being broken into nine rectangles (like a tic-tac-toe grid over the picture). Place your subject at one of the intersections of the lines for a more visually stimulating photo.

When shooting an image that has a subject looking off to one side, compose your photograph so there is more space where the subject is looking. This will give your photograph more of a natural feeling.

When shooting landscapes at dusk or nighttime, use a tripod and cable release or self-timer so you can slow down the shutter speed to let in more light. This is the technique used when you see pictures of car lights as lines, not pinpoints.

One of the rules of composition says that horizon lines should not be placed in the center of an image, but closer to the top or bottom of the frame. Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. When you’re photographing a subject and its reflection, its perfectly fine to place the horizon in the center of the frame.

A Gift of Anguish
Received this camera 1 year 3 months ago as a gift. Used it outside of the house 3x's after researching how to use it because the provided instructions are minimal at best. ("how to use features" may have been written in another language that completes 75% of these instructions) Now all the camera does is "Lens Fail" when turned on. Nikon wants $79 + S&H to fix it? I'm now a proud owner of a $170 "door stop"! Thanks Nikon
.....Now Nikon is asking me MORE information about myself to complete this review, THAN the instructions that came with this product!

Lens Problems & Poor Support
We have owned two of these cameras. They provide everything we look for in a simple point and shoot. However both cameras have developed lens problems. On the first the telescopic function often malfunctions. On the other, the lens aperture does not close completely. On the second, it failed within the warranty period. I mailed to the service center address provided with the warranty. After 3 weeks it was returned by USPS as undeliverable. I called support. She promised to e-mail the correct address. I never received it. I registered at the Nikon site and asked for the correct address. Three days later, I have not received it. I called support again and asked for the address over the phone. I have mailed the camera to the new address at my expense (twice). Let's see what happens now.

This is my second Nikon. I am going to wait to complete my review until I see how the service is.

When that message shows up when the camera is new, "Memory contains no images", and the camera is charging up, no pictures can be taken. Rule: cannot take pictures when charging. Thanks all the same for the effort. :-)

I just bought my first digital camera about a week and a half ago. Actually I bought another model at the same time. I got the Coolpix S 6500 on clearance at a Walmart after reading a lot of reviews on the internet. I initially wanted the Coolpix S 3600 because it takes 20 MP photos as opposed to 16, but some of the reviews said the 6500 has less noise and graininess through the various ISO settings and additionally yields great images. I also like the idea of 1080 videos as opposed to 720, and the zoom is 12X as opposed to 8X.

My question applies generally to a lot of digital cameras based on the reading I've done. I haven't experimented with this as of yet, but I read on the internet that to take a photo of myself using the self timer, I should find an object the same distance from the camera I intend to stand at and press the button halfway down to acquire a focus for that distance. Next I am to stand that distance from the camera, somehow using the self timer with the already-acquired focus, until the photo is taken.

Do I really have to do all that? For example, I've read the S 6500 videos can use continuous autofocus. Now this is for photos and not videos: If autofocus is used with the 10-second self timer option, can I just activate the timer and go stand where I want, of course in front of the camera within a reasonably centered position, and expect to be in focus when the photo is taken 10 seconds later?

I realize this is a photography question more than a technical camera question, yet it's also a camera question in that it applies to how the camera can or cannot work.

To summarize my question more simply, if I'm using my camera all by myself for this, do I have to acquire a focus from behind it before getting in front for my self-timed photo of myself? I hope you can understand the basic meaning and general implications of my question.

While it isn't relevant to my question/contribution, I'm including a photo I took of myself with my laptop camera in late August of 2014, within a few weeks before my 50th birthday. I later bought the Coolpix camera as a birthday present. Photography may become a new serious passion, so I put that as my level of interest.

Thank You Very Much, John on November 6, 2014

This is John again, the original poster of the question. First, I'd like to note that I went over most of the reviews I read about the S 6500 again after I posted my question, and I realized that I INTERPRETED the idea that the S 6500 has less noise and graininess in the ISO settings than the S 3600. Both cameras apparently have automatic electronic reduction systems that reduce noise and graininess, although this also results in loss of sharpness/definition in the higher ISO ranges. The noise/graininess is traded off for this loss. These ideas are all based on my reading of the reviews. In any case, for me to write that the S 6500 takes better quality photos than the S 3600 was completely unfounded, and I owe Nikon an apology. I really don't know which camera takes the better photos. This doesn't matter when one takes the perspective that more goes into a photo than the camera itself. The skill of the photographer and the content of the photo are both important. I imagine that a store like Walmart has cameras that can be used to take great photos, almost whatever model the consumer buys. Therefore, getting the S 6500 or S 3600 probably won't make or break a photographer's adventure in terms of whether one camera is purchased over another. Incidentally, both cameras were said in the reviews to take great photos in the lowest ISO settings, say around 100. These photos would be taken in very light conditions.

Now, on to the business of using a tripod to take photos of one's self, I came up with two ideas for the S 6500 that do not require getting BEHIND the camera. First, the photographer might be able to set the Wi Fi option to view the image screen in an android tablet, for example, from the spot in front of the camera where the individual plans to stand. Next, if the Wi Fi operation will allow the acquiring of a focus and activating the self timer, all that remains is to get the tablet out of sight while the timer counts down the seconds. If the position is known, the subject can move away from it to put the tablet somewhere else and return. I haven't tried this technique, so it is only a theory I have at this time, and depends on what the Wi Fi option will allow. Here the focus is LOCKED after being acquired.

Second, I have another idea. The individual starts a 1080 movie with continuous auto focus and takes his/her time posing. Next the movie is turned off. I read that a single frame or photo can be extracted from a video. One has 30 frames per second to choose from at the 1080 option. If the video is a few seconds long or more, perhaps hundreds of photos are available, and I'm guessing the main pose might last for about a second or even less. One drawback is that these extracted frames/photos might not be the highest quality that the camera takes in the normal photography options. I don't know, although I think they might not be.

Mainly I was looking for a way to be auto focused on from in front of the camera while the self timer counts down. This idea was stated or implied in my original question. To me, if this isn't possible, I see a weakness in these digital small cameras that probably spans many brands and models. I will be hoping that somebody provides a good answer as to how to take photos of one's self using a tripod. Knowing where to stand in reference to some position indicator determined by the individual seems like a valuable idea. Such an indicator might be a coin of the floor to stand on, therefore also covering it up so it won't be in the photo, etc., etc. Acquiring the focus for the same distance and locking it might be pretty easy too. This is up to the imagination, and many ideas are possible.

Hopefully somebody will respond with a good technique and/or knowledge of the S 6500's capabilities.

COOLPIX cameras must have a media card in the camera for Wi-Fi options to be accessible; and the camera’s battery must have at least 50% charge. Connecting the camera's built-in Wi-Fi to your smart device is simple. It is automatic with an Android™-powered smart device. For iOS users, go to Settings on your phone, into the Wi-Fi settings, and select the Netowrk SSID. It begins with the name Nikon followed by a string of letters and numbers. Once you've selected the Network SSID, you can open the Nikon Wireless Mobile Utility app on the smart device, as the connection is now established.
